I care a lot about Config dependency checking, and you are not within the group of people that I care about in this respect. kernel-hackers has no problem realising that a "make oldconfig" is needed. But I care about NN that follows 2.6 development, and update his/her tree each time a new version is posted at kernel.org. This group of people needs dependency checking on Config files - as can be seen by the number of reports that boils down to "run make oldconfig". Which we btw. have not seen the last couple of weeeks, but I still think is good. Sam
